Sports Clubs


The importance of sports in the life of a young person is invaluable and goes much further than the basic idea of keeping them off the streets or staying fit.

• Build on their existing strengths, skills and abilities; • Break unrealistic barriers; • Realise unexplored potentials and improve prosperity;• Take responsibility, build self-confidence and character,• Learn to endure sacrifice, and accountability; • And most importantly, sports is a tool to create a cohesive and

disciplined society.

Sports2WORKUse sport as a ‘hook’ and a vehicle to attract and

engage marginalised young people in positive activity that supports our work on community

regeneration.

The important benefit of the Sports2WORK approach is the way in which we will ‘grow’ a network of positive role models who promote positive thinking/attitudes and health/fitness

lifestyles to other young people across all cultures in the area and encourage positive

attitudes to employment and cohesion.

The programme will be managed by SSA
